The prediction of roof convergence in mining area plays an important role in effectively preventing roof accidents and ensuring the safety of mine production. Because the roof pressure in the mine is affected by various natural and human factors, and there is a dynamic and fuzzy nonlinear relationship between the factors. At present, the lack of systematic …

The mining layout is exactly the same as that of the normal bord and pillar layout (see Figure 3). The bords are 4 m wide and pillar sizes are 13 m x 13 m, thus creating centres of 17 m. The stopping width in the development phase is 1.8 m (0.2 m hanging wall, 0.8 m UG2 reef and 0.8 m footwall). The pillar that is created is then stoped out ...

4. Characteristic of R & P It is the most common supported pillar method, designed and used primarily for mining flat-lying seams, or tabular orebodies, or gently dipping bedded ore deposits of limited thickness (like coal, oil shale, limestone, phosphate, salt, trona, potash, and bedded uranium ores,). Room and pillar methods are well adapted to …

The success of mechanized bord-and-pillar mining in narrow tabular steep dipping orebodies will depend on the extent of the research and development efforts which need to create and innovate ...
by the highwall mining system (Porathuir et al. 2017). In this manner, the coal is accessed from galleries starting at the base of the highwall and driving their way through the deposit. Nevertheless, in the case examined the exploitation is not being made by auger systems but by using the room and pillar mining scheme without any recovery of ...

Bord-and-pillar mining has some favourable promises such as improving labour difficulties, lowering operating costs and providing safer working conditions. The success of mechanized bord-and-pillar mining in narrow tabular steep dipping orebodies
One among the oldest methods of mining is that the Bord and Pillar. It's a way within which the mined material is extracted across a horizontal plane while leaving "pillars" of untouched …
As bord and pillar workings are developed roof support becomes a major consideration and operating cost item. Support requirements vary considerably and are dependent on the physical conditions in the seam, which are often depth dependent, and the length of time that the workings are required to be serviceable. ... In underground mining, first ...
In 2013, a Bord and Pillar Task Team was established by the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) Principal Inspector of the North West Region, to determine current industry best …

The document discusses the bord and pillar method of underground coal mining. It involves driving parallel roads called bords separated by coal pillars. Development involves driving the bords and pillars, followed by depillaring which extracts the pillars. Factors like seam thickness, depth, and roof/floor strength determine suitability. Support systems like roof bolting are used …
